Liverpool
---------
THE LIFE AND ADMINISTRATION OF ROBERT BANKS, SECOND EARL OF LIVERPOOL,
K.G. Compiled from Original Family Documents by _Charles Duke Yonge_,
Regius Professor of History and English Literature in Queen's College,
Belfast; and Author of "The History of the British Navy," "The History of
France under the Bourbons," etc. Three vols. 8vo. 42_s_.
_Since the time of Lord Burleigh no one, except the second Pitt, ever
enjoyed so long a tenure of power; with the same exception, no one ever
held office at so critical a time.... Lord Liverpool is the very last
minister who has been able fully to carry out his own political views; who
has been so strong that in matters of general policy the Opposition could
extort no concessions from him which were not sanctioned by his own
deliberate judgment. The present work is founded almost entirely on the
correspondence left behind him by Lord Liverpool, and now in the
possession of Colonel and Lady Catherine Harcourt._
"_Full of information and instruction._"--_Fortnightly Review_.

brought under review in the following pages_."--_Preface_.
